About this map

The Little Sioux River meanders through this portion of Northwest Iowa, defining the local geography as it flows past Sioux Rapids and Linn Grove. This 2010 survey reflects a landscape shaped by both the winding river valley and the rigid precision of the rural road grid. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting several burial grounds including Liberty Cemetery in the north and Saint Josephs Cemetery to the southeast.

The settlement at Cornell and the presence of the Linn Grove Post Office and Sioux Rapids Post Office anchor the community's civic identity. Outside the town centers, the terrain is drained by tributaries such as Willow Creek and Soldier Creek. Recreational and conservation interests are marked at Bluebird Access, while several township cemeteries, including Douglas Township Cemetery and Barnes Township Cemetery, provide a look at the historical division of the land.
